Having had a realization recently that I produced more video content in the past year or so than I had in the previous decade, and feeling a little bit bummed that I had missed out on so many opportunities over that decade, yet also realizing how much more opportunity there is in both the present and the future, I have felt the need to produce more video content to take advantage of the opportunities out there.
A big part of this is directly attributed to my having got into Gary Vaynerchuk's content and ideas about putting out content, as well as the significance of video content. However, a big unlock for me came in the spring during quarantine when I got the idea to do daily videos unedited and for me that was a big unlock - not only to come up with ideas to speak about them and to not worry at all about post-production or any editing work at all and that was huge for me to go into it and just speak.
One of the ways that it actually contributed in a fascinating way has also been with regards to Star Wars videos. I created my Star Wars YouTube channel 6 years ago in November 2014; from November 2014 until March of this year, I had published 11 videos. Since then, I have doubled that production.
Largely, this is due to the positive influences and ideas of Gary Vaynerchuk, as well as the realization I don't necessarily need to edit down my videos. So a huge major piece of that was just talking about books and not worrying about any post-production work. I've also begun to be less afraid to put out content also realize there's an interest in certain pieces of content. In addition, I just discovered a week ago the ease with which it is to record off of a screen, so I don't necessarily need to try to find and download various files of various television episodes of Star Wars shows, so it is a lot easier to go and record clips and then insert them into videos such as this video on The Mandalorian or this video from this past week on Jango Fett.
So I'm very excited to continue producing video content and also to be working on my Star Wars YouTube channel, especially since we're only a quarter of the way done with this season of The Mandalorian and there's a lot of renewed interest in Star Wars and especially Mandalorians, as well as the Darksaber, of which I already have not only relevant video content, but a bunch of written content on my Star Wars website. I'm very excited to see what can happen and, hopefully, I'll be able to break through to 300 subscribers on my YouTube channel soon :)
